It has been a while since I had zoodles but oh my goodness after this meal they are back in rotation! This quick pesto is rich and flavorful and works great on zoodles...by the way I don't like veggies so you know it hides the veggie taste well. To make it a single-plate meal just top with a protein, in our case fresh boiled-to-order shrimp from our local Farmers Market!

Oh and Sam loved it as well!

What you'll need:

1 ripe avocado
1 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup shelled pistachios
1/2 fresh lemon
Olive oil (about 2 tbs)
Salt & pepper as desired

Directions:

Add avocado, pistachios, basil, and lemon to a food processor and pulse a few times
Add little olive oil and process for a few seconds, repeat until all oil is added (or if your food processor allows, drizzle it in through the top while processing)
Salt and pepper to taste and one more quick pulse
Enjoy!
For an easy dish, toss with zoodles and top with a protein of your choice (shrimp, chicken, etc.)
